young voters, a state where the young vote for obama did make a difference in 2008. their enthusiasm down a little bit so if the campaign on the campus, the university of iowa campus, identifies them early and vote early, number one, they have a test. if they forget what day it is or a party the night before, you get the vote in the bank early and doing that, you can call people undecided closer to election day and not people to vote for the president. >> these are hard core supporters saying you know what? i don't care what happens in the next five-plus weeks. i have made up my mind. correct? >> reporter: right. and that's why republicans say you're not getting anybody today that you wouldn't get two weeks from now, three weeks from now and election day 40 days from now. republicans say you can make too much of this. anybody voting now is an absolute democrat. absolutely in the camp and not waiting for the debates and anyone for mitt romney is an absolute republican but you mentioned the break in the race. iowa is one of the swing states broken in the president's fa
